flying leaves and snowfakes. 1t Is
when domiciled in this delightful home
that society duties are somewhat relax
ed and Mrs. Lothrop has more leisure
to devote to her literary labors. The
famous study in the tower, where flame
was won" by the great romancer, is
her worship as well. In this literary
atmosphere Mrs. Lothrop calls her
characters about her, peopling the quiet
room with her imagination. They are
real TO her, and as she sits and drinks
in the views from the windows upon
which Hawthorne used TO gaze she al
most sees the people, great and small,
of whom she writes.
Mrs. Lothrop has learned in her lit
erary work to be an economizer of
time. While about her domestic duties
or walking OF driving about the de-
lightful grounds about her home her
mind is constantly active, and the re-
suits of this activity are soon made
manifest. The Hawthorne pine, in which
the great romancer built an eagles
nest, reached by narrow stair, wind
ing about the trunk, has become his
toric The structure, with which time
had taken some liberties, has been re-
paired and strengthened by the present
owner of the premises, and here, Mrs.
Lothrop often formulates her delight
full tales, and here frequently she puts
them into substantial form. The ethe-
real creatures of her imagination come
quite as readily, at her bidding to the
tree-top as TO the eyric above the roof.
1t is her habit, rs with the majority
OF authors, to write almost wholly in
the early portion of the day while at
her Concord home. At intervals, when
an especially interesting topic is en-
crossing her attention, a portion of the
afternoon hours are passed at her desk.
Never does she allow herself to take
up the pen in the evening. believing
that labor OF night, although delightful,
is objoctional in hygienic point of
view. Few writers are more happy in
their work, in their surroundings, in
their home lite, than is Margaret Sid
ney. There are few whose privilege it
is to do well in an atmosphere so
thoroughly surcharged with literary
feeling. None can more thoroughly
appreciate her good fortune than Mrs.
Lothrop.

A Southern Heroine.

Mrs. Shackelford, youthful widow
who manages cotton plantation of
$500 acres near Pleasant Hill, in Ala
bama, is now in New Orleans, and is
looked upon as a heroine for the BRAY
cry she exhibited during a murdercus
assault upon her by one Of the colorod
laborers on her plantation. Her maid
en- name was Annie Perrinc, and she
was educated at Vassar college. When
10 years old she returned to her father
home in Alabama, and soon afterward
was married to A. p. Shackelford, of
Virginia. She then had an income of
nearly $50, 900. but during visit 10
California with her husband her for
tune was swept away as if in n single
night. Instead of giving up IN despair
she kept the wolf from the door by
corresponding with New York journals
until she saved enough to pay Ter way
back to her father home. On reach
ing there she was called upon TO face
another emergency. Years and past
troubles had so silvered the locks of
her father that he had been unable to
run the place as he had in bvgonc days,
and debt of $1,000, bearing heavy
interest, was increasing so rapidly that
it was only question of time for the
mortgage to swallow up the old
homestead. She became her fathers
manager, and in doing this she was
compelled to be in the saddle from
4 o'clock in the morning till night,
and this has been her life since she
was II years of age. And at the end of
five years her husband died, and she
was left a widow with one child, now
bright little fellow of four years. Three
years ago she paid of every dollar on
the plantation. She raises every year
100 bales of cotton. besides corn and
market supplies for home consumption
and sale. A portion of the plantation
is leased to colored laborers, and she has
to collect rents from 1856 tenants. She
has great trouble with some of the
strange colored tenants, and servant
girl, in revenge for a refusal to go to a
dance, poisoned her little boy. The
baby lay at deaths door for awhile,
but finally recovered. On the 18th of
last January she Unexpectedly returned
to the house and found huge colored
man in her room searching for valIa-
bles. She presented a pistol at his
head and ordered him to- surrender.
He advanced upon her armed with a
razor. and she snapped the pistol but
it proved TO be unloaded. and in the
struggle that ensued she received
twenty-seven wounds. She sank ex-
haustcd. aud her assailant escaped from
the house. As soon rs he turned to
flee she seized another pistol. mounted
her horse. and ovcrtaking the ;uilian,
brought him down with a successful
shot. and he was taken to prison.
After being confined TO her room for
som, ;ime with her wounds she re-
! covered.

Who Would Be a Brewery

The New York brewers sold about
1000, 900 barrels of beer in 1886, so
that at the estimated profit OF 81 o
barrel they made 100000. This
divided among the eighty of this
neighborhood, gives $500 apiece;
but while few made so little, many
made great deal more-one having
sold nearly 400, 900 barrels, and three
or four having made over 200, 900
barrels, or dollars Many of them
live quite grandly, the mansion that
one has built fronting the park being
one of the finest homes in the city,
and of course they don't do any man
ual work; in fact, many of them have
had their riches forced upon them, and
haven't the ability to do the work of the
humblest of their clerks. There is q
college in town for teaching brewing,
where four boys year get that educa-
ton free. The business will grow rs
the country grows, and has grown, so
that some of the graduates may be re-
garded as certain to be very rich men.
Is this chance 10 recommend to q
youth to strive for? After long ac-
quantance with many brewers l say
decidedly no. | would not put a boy
in the business nor go into it myself
under the most advantageous circum'
stances. In many respects their riches
are earned the hardest of any moneys
made in New York. This is said not
from temperance standpoint, but be-
cause of the lives the brewers have to
lead and the things they have to do to
make their money. For instance, they
are obliged to drink like the suction
pipo of steam engine. Whenever a
customer begins business, or opens a
new saloon, or refurnishes an old one,
the brewer must come and spend mon
ey like water and drink like a fish. 1t
is Just the same when customer has
wedding or a christening, or takes
partner. or does anything that furnish
es an excuse for inviting the brewer
around to divide portion of his pro-
fits. He would be stingy if he didn't
spend the money and disrespectful If
he didn't drink, and in either case he
would lose his customer. Fancy a
man at the head OF great business
and possessing great wealth obliged to
get drunk four nights week to keep
his business. True, few don't do it,
but employ hail fellows to take their
places, yet most of these fellows had to
do exactly that in building up then
business.
Then. again. the average New York
brewer is at the beck and call of the
saloon keeper in many other ways.
They are expected to lend money on
every sort OF pretense, to 60 bail fol-
their customers whenever they are ar
rested and whatever it may be for, to
go to their weddings. christenings.
balls. and to subscribe money for every
device that liquor dealer can invent
to beg for. Providence Journal.
